Soft pink in color, rose quartz is the variety of quartz whose blush-to-raspberry hue is attributed to microscopic fibers of dumortierite or to trace amounts of titanium and manganese. It has been valued as an emblem of love and beauty since at least 7000 BCE in Mesopotamia and remains among the most widely used gems for jewelry and carved decorative objects. Brazil, Madagascar, and South Africa are its principal sources. With a Mohs hardness of 7, rose quartz is durable enough for daily wear, and it is sometimes recognized as a January birthstone. Fully transparent material is scarce, so the stone is most often cut as beads, cabochons, and ornamental carvings.

About Rose Quartz
玫瑰石英是石英的粉红色变种，颜色从极淡的粉红到浓郁的覆盆子粉不等，柔和温婉的粉红色调由微量钛、铁或锰元素，或微细的金红石、透闪石纤维状包裹体所致。玫瑰石英通常以块状集合体产出，透明的晶体较为罕见，切磨后因密集的纤维状包裹体常显示出星光效应（六射星光）。巴西是最重要的产地，马达加斯加和美国南达科他州也有优质产出。玫瑰石英被视为爱情与温柔的象征，是现代新时代（New Age）文化和水晶疗愈领域最受欢迎的宝石之一，用于制作各种首饰、雕件和摆件。
